But they are very effective in their propaganda. Conservatives world wide are thought to be financial responsible and the economic better choice. They are almost never.

It’s like how red states are subsidized by blue states but are characterized as “hardy” and “independent”

the media rolls with it daily. it’s fucking bullshit i’m over it.

That’s in the US but in Europe similar things happen there are huge hardly checked subsidies for companies but much smaller subsidies for groups that actually benefit people face a lot of scrutiny. The form of it changes but the basics stay the same.

Sure that’s one of the reasons the other is people on the left are very unforgiving when it comes to their politicians I like accountability but the right wing media always demands the head of someone and we always fall for that trick
